Replaced ink cartridges and no ink shown on new print outs

I have a HP 8500 a9110 printer. I just replaced all three color ink cartridges (black cartridge is still good). After replacing, I tried to print and all that comes out are white print outs with no color or very slight tone. I attempted to go Tools and clean and align heads. The clean worked but received failure on align option. I turned off and unplugged unit and also removed and put back in new ink cartridges. I also removed the both heads and cleaned off with soft cloth. Has anyone experienced this issue before. Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi vegasbuddha,
Sorry to hear that you're having problems.
Are you using HP genuine cartridges? I'm asking because using any other cartridges could result in many hardware
problems and issues also in ruining the printer.
If that's not the problem, can you take a look at this link and see if you've missed any steps in replacing the cartridge?
Replace Print Cartridge
After replacing any cartridge, the printer should automatically print out a diagnostics page.
Also, cleaing the cartridges could help in this case. The instructions to do so are in this link:

Let me know how this goes and hope this helps!

  • I just changed both ink cartridges and every time i try to print something it prints a test page,

    after the test page prints, the job I printed gets stuck in the print queue.  How can I get the printer to stop printing test pages?
    Thanks

    After replacing the cartridges you should complete the alignment process, most likely by scanning the printer page.
    Please claridy your printer model in order to provide you the steps to complete the alignment process.

    The cartridges can be replaced independently as they run out of ink, you do not need to replace black and color at the same time. 

  • INSTALLED NEW INK CARTRIDGE and cancelled the alignment PRINT HEAD IS STUCK

    Greeting everyone
    I just put a new color 57 HP ink cartridge  into my all in one 2210 printer & somehow I cancelled the alignment as it seemed not to be doing anything....and now it will not return the printer head and will do nothing.... how will I fix this?
    this is just a printer problem as the printer was working fine before I changed the ink.  My Dell inspiron 580  wi PC is working fine and I have been printing direct from my computer to printer every day until my goof up...... intel core (TM) i5 CPU @3.20 GHz 64 bit  8.00 GB RAM

    Hi - A couple of things to try:
    - Unplug the power from the back of the printer.
    - Open the top cover, and slide the carriage to the center.
    - Remove the cartridge and try reinstalling.  Make sure the ink cartridge snaps in and is firmly held by the carriage.
    - Plug the power cord back into the printer and power it on.
    If that doesn't work, try repeating the steps above, but this time, remove the USB cable, which will completely isolate the printer and narrow down the issue.
    Hope that helps.

    Make sure it is a genuine HP cartridge.  Take it out and clean the contact on the cartridge and in the printer.  Try again.

    I recently replaced my iphone and took 6 weeks of new pictures, I plugged it to my computer and by accident I restored the back from 4 months ago and erased my new pictures. How can I recover the new pictures ?? Help!!

    Sorry those pics might be gone, since you restored from your backup.
    Only way possible if by some possibility you were able to backup your current data to itunes, then you can restore from that backup.
    Open itunes - edit - preference - devices - backup - see if there is an up to date backup.
    If you don't have one then sorry those pics are gone.

    If the grayscale looks ok on screen, you are probably not setting up your print correctly. What OS? What printer?

  • Officejet 4620 Brand new HP Black ink cartridge and it won't print black at all

        Greetings, my printer recently ran out of ink. So I purchased a set of cartridges from Staples. I installed them and ran the Clean Printhead function. I now have great color and NO BLACK. I ran the clean printhead function numerous times. Its so frustrating to watch the evolution of printers over the last 2 decades go from reliable to unreliable all for the purpose of financial gains. I've had printers since the 80's, I used printers when they came with ribbon cartridges, which hardly failed, though they would indeed dry out. At least when they did dry out you would be able to put a new one in and continue. Now they have engineered replaceable printheads (because they were made knowing they will fail), ink cartridges that are not interchangeable (knowing that once you've had it with one printer model, you'll most likely switch to another brand or model) which uses a DIFFERENT model ink cartridge. All for finacial gain. Between my office and home, I've been through 4 printers in the last 2 years. I was a loyal Lexmark fan, untill my old one died and I purchased a new one, first thing I noticed was the changeable printhead, and I said to myself, uh oh, thats going to fail, and so said, so done, within 3 months of using the printer, Lexmark sent me 2 printheads and 2 sets of replacement inks free of charge. I still have a set of ink and a printhead because the LCD screen went blank, lol. Had to toss it. Ended up switching to HP which I believe is made in the same factory as Lexmarks after much comparison of models. Now I have the newest HP at my office and its been great thus far and SUPERB on ink usage, THUSFAR. I'm almost afraid to find out what my future has in store. I know I ran on alot off topic, BUT HP, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. I've now wasted $60 on a new set of cartridges and will most likely need a new printer since my warranty is expired. SMH. Bad Business!!!!

    Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.  Are you located in the US?

  • How do I return unopened 564 ink cartridges that do not fit my new warranty replacement printer

    HP replaced my old printer that used 564 cartridges with a warranty replacement printer that does not use the same cartridges.  I was informed I could return the two unopened boxes.  Where do I send them?  How will I get reinbursed?

    Hi there pyesangel,
    Open the Printer Toolbox . There are two ways to do this:
    Open HP Solution Center , select the Settings menu, then the Print Settings submenu, and finally the Printer Toolbox .
    Open Printers and Faxes in the Windows Control Panel , then right-click your printer icon and choose Properties . Click Printing Preferences . Click the Features tab, then click the Printer Services button.
    The Printer Toolbox opens. Click the Estimated Ink Level tab. A cartridge may be running out of ink even if the graphic shows ink remaining (see the note at the start of this section). Lines or streaks always appear in printouts when the cartridges begin to run out of ink. Replace print cartridges that are out of ink or low on ink.
    Figure 1: Estimated ink levels
    Give it a shot and let us know if it helps.
    Best of Luck!

    When you say you can't do the alignment, what happens?  Do you get an error message, flashing lights, or no response?  The good news is the problems you're describing typically don't indicate a hardware issue that would warrant getting a new printer.  Go ahead and try the steps in this document.  I'd also recommend unplugging the printer after you've removed the cartridges (per the steps in the document) and gently clean the contacts in the carriage that holds the cartridges.

  • HP Photosmart C6180 printer. Says the magenta ink cartridge is empty when it is new.

    I own a HP Photosmart C6180 printer.  It sat for several months so I replaced all of the ink cartridges.  It will not print because it says the magenta ink cartridge is empty.  It is brand new and i can see the ink inside of it.  I am not sure what to do.  I don't want to take it to get serviced as I live several hours from any computer or printer repair shop.  Please help!

    Hi pbeck39
    What are the ink levels like on a self test page - are they good? Are you using Win XP x64 by any chance?
    Thanks

  • HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series (replaced all cartridges and printer won't print in color.)

    I replaced my color cartridges and my magenta will not print. Originally only the black would print then after the following steps the bluee and yellow cartridges began working. Previous steps I have tried; Clean cartridges step one the blocks on the bottom of page not solid they were streaky. Clean cartridges step two nice print quality solid blocks at the bottom only blue and yellow no magenta. Followed your steps listed above cleaned print head. Aligned cartridges then printed quality page then print quality diagnostic. I am unable to get the magenta cartridge to print. I would appreciate your your help as we have an important school project due.

    Open the top and let the carriage move to the center or left, unplug the printer, remove the ink cart. and lay on side, raise the grey handle and remove the printhead, with a lint free cloth or coffee filter, genitally moisten it and wipe down the contacts on the back of the printhead, also wipe down were the printhead sits down into the printer, reinstall the printhead and ink cart., close the cover, no hold down the #3 on the front of the printer and plug the unit back in, when you get power release the #3 and see if that helps the issue.

    @rkcpalmsprings, welcome to the forums
    I am replying to you, to share the troubleshooting guide I would suggest for the magenta not printing from your Officejet 6500 Wireless. The steps may look familiar to you as you have tried quite a bit of troubleshooting already however, browse over the steps and try anything you haven't yet tried.
    Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Officejet 6500 All-in-On...
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue and the magenta still will not print, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you, such as a replacement or trade in, as the printhead(s) may be at fault.
